Linda was a dear friend and mentor in our work together at Nationwide Children's Hospital dental clinic over many years. She taught me much about gentle patient care, but so much more about the importance of family, motherhood and kindness. When my son was born she gave me a photo keychain so I could put his picture in it and "carry him with me always." She was a joy and I will miss her dearly. Many prayers are said for her friends and family, who I am sure will also miss her dearly.

Dear Archer Family,
  Your family and ours lived in the same neighborhood in 1987-1991.  I lost touch with Linda over the years, but I have memories of her kindness.  She helped us adjust to our new community and became an important part of our lives.  I am so sorry about the illness she endured and that you had to give her up.  I know she loved you all very much and she will be missed.  I liked and admired her a great deal.

My friendship with Linda was through the many years we worked at Children's Hospital . We bonded from the many times we met for pizza or lunch after hours. I still have a tiny dish she gave me that says "there is an angle watching over you". It sits by my kitchen sink. I retired 5 yrs ago so saw her just a few times. Her passing saddens me. Heaven has received another angel. Her video was touching. Thank you for sharing.

Linda lived a life of passion centered with love.  Whether she was with family, friends, at work, or doing simple everyday things to her; she was always thinking of others.  A true LIGHT (and delight) to be around!  A CANDLE leading the way.  Candles in celebration...of marriage, birthdays, holidays, special occasions, and in remembrance; and that we never forget the ultimate “light of the world” our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Linda’s light is gone from our sight, but not our hearts, and as quickly as her eyes closed for the last time here on Earth, her light shone in heaven!  Finding comfort in the truth of the words of Christian artist, Sinach, “Way Maker, promise keeper, light in the darkness, my God that is who you are.”  A lifetime of memories; visits, family gatherings, prayers...none more special than the next, all of them sealed in my heart!  Godspeed...my dear angel cousin!  Save that seat at the corner table!  Lorie Glaros  Calabash, NC

Linda was a lovely woman and was glad to see her in at a party or boat.So sad to hear of her passing.She is in our hearts and prayers.

Linda was a beautiful soul, who lived a vibrant life filled with the love of her precious family and friends. She passed away peacefully at home on her sofa in the loving care of her husband, Tom. Linda loved her work as a Dental Hygienist at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Dental clinic. She often reminded all of us to brush our teeth for 2 minutes and to floss, as she generously supplied us with toothpaste and mouthwash. Linda was active in her church and Bible study, and she enjoyed her NCH Twig. She was painting little birdhouses in September and made many Buckeye items over the years for the annual Twig Bazaar. Growing up, we always shared a bedroom and often shared our clothes, especially after we started at Bexley High School after years of wearing uniforms at CSG. Linda was an athlete and always beat me at tennis and swimming, and when I stopped playing Monopoly with her, because she always won, she just continued playing against herself. If she wasn’t working, playing tennis, swimming, walking the dogs, or making food for someone else, she was stitching handmade gifts for loved ones! Linda loved her time at the family cottage on Pelee Island, and she loved to walk the beach looking for ‘lucky stones’ and beach glass. I will always remember her sitting on a white beach chair with her visor on, her blond hair blowing in the wind, and her face to the sun. She endured her last days with dignity, grace and great faith, and she will always be an inspiration to me for living such a productive and passionate life! She was truly blessed to have had Tom as her life partner and soulmate! Her beautiful children are raising their families with the same unconditional love Linda gave to them. I am comforted to know I will meet her again in Heaven! Love you forever, sweet Linda.   Your big sister, Dianne :two_hearts:

As a member of the tennis community I knew Linda for years.  We played together and against each other.   She was very much a competitor.  She loved the game.   She will be missed.   My thoughts go out to the family.    She loved to talk about her grandchildren.

as your little sister, I miss you miss you greatly!from- Brookwood days, to,plymouth  days!You helped me when I as so little, too! You were, kind to me.I hold those memories deep in heart! I remember,when you found a boy-friend, Tom! too.( when bill and I were small..and you both babyset us-together-)I am sorry, bill and I ruined your date!~ we took scuba- diving -lessons together, too, a the YMCA!/ and got RUBAIN"S pizza in the way home!( soaking wet!).

you and I , with a small- radio, would bake in the sun on Pelee, and talk for hours,not a care in the world! swim, to cool off!~( I never   could swim as fast as you, but I tried!)~ yet, you taught me how to be strong.

Linda,I am sure at peace now in Heaven.Love  you- always.

Linda was a very kind lady that always had a smile on her face . She was such a hard worker,  And so good with the kids and families that came into Nationwide Children’s . I have a lot of fond memories of her being such a giving and caring human being.

So beautiful but so sad!  We will miss Linda on the beach at Pelee. Loved looking out and seeing her walking on the beach. She was always glad to see you and so pleasant.
Will miss our friend!  :heart:

To the Archer family ,
I am sorry for your loss.  It was a pleasure to be able to know her. Although she is no longer in pain, she will be missed.
Time will hopefully ease the pain, but the good memories will always remain.

I played tennis with Linda for decades. I remember we where partners one summer and never lost. She often reminded me of that season. An amazing athlete, employee and woman. Will be fondly remembered!

Peaceful White Lilies Basket was purchased for the family of Linda Krech Archer.
